37. Amp Select Switch and Built-in Limiter
This switch allows users to alternate between the
different signals that can be processed by the built-in
power amp and routed to the speaker outputs on the
rear of the device. It enables users to select from: L /
R; Main L+R / Mon, and; Bridge Mono – which is output
via either professional speaker (Speakon) output A-1 or
1/" (L+R) Bridge output only – ensuring the Powerpod
Plus mixers can be used for most any possible speaker
configuration.
NB. When using a mono bridge connection, do not connect a speaker to
either the 1/" phone jacks or the professional speaker jack B-1 speaker
connector, located on the rear of the mixer.
The two LED indicators above this switch illuminate
when the Powerpod Plus' built-in limiters are activated,
affectively limiting distortion caused by excessive
signals. In the case of the limiter being activated, users
are advised to reduce the corresponding signal for that
output until the limiter LED stops lighting up.
38. sPs (Solid Phonic System) Speaker
Enhancement Switch and Indicator
Using this switch will enable the user to give their sound
a little lift to improve the overall robustness of the audio. It
basically cuts very low frequency sounds, those which are
barely audible to the human ear, and gives a slight boost
to frequencies just above the cut frequencies. Cutting
the unnecessary low frequency sounds then allows the
power amplifier to direct its energy to the more important
elements of your audio. It may be desirable to audition
the mixer's sound with this switch on and off, and decide
which is better for your purposes. Activation of the sPs
switch is accompanied by an illuminated LED.
39. Stand-by Switch and Indicator
This switch enables and disables a mute of channels 1
through to 8 on the Powerpods 865 and 885 Plus. This
feature is useful in live performances, due to the fact that
the Tape In and stereo AUX Returns are not muted when
activated, allowing an audio signal from CD players or
other input devices to be played during performance
breaks, while still ensuring microphones fail to produce
feedback (or any sound what-so-ever). Activation of the
stand-by switch is accompanied by an illuminated LED
that, when on, will flash.
